daofktr Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 hokay...i figure this should show me to be the most ingnant bass player on the planet... who is the bass player i seem to see on CMT 'events' all the time...shaves his head, disgustingly in shape...(by that comment, guess who AIN'T)? no particular reason to ask, but, since i see he gets the gigs, i figger i should know in case i ever get a gig in nashville and have someone that looks like him point at me and snicker...

Mudcat Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Do you mean this guy? http://www.sadowsky.com/media/artists_left/rhodes.jpg He's been a bass icon in Nashville since the early 80s (maybe even the late 70s).

Hmmmmm, maybe Jeremy Cohen? He's got a shiny dome and is in excellent shape. Perhaps Wally Malone -- he's sportin' the dome look and has various endurance events and weightlifting in his personal history... Anyone else? However, these fellahs aren't on CMT events with regularity. Peace. --Sweet "Mo' Luv to be Spread" Willie spreadluv Fanboy? Why, yes! Nordstrand Pickups and Guitars.

daofktr Posted January 14, 2005 Author Share Posted January 14, 2005 thankee kindly, mudcat, benloy, and jeremyc!!! i'm about to read the interview, just as soon as i get this cheesecake in the oven.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daofktr Posted January 14, 2005 Author Share Posted January 14, 2005 so i lied...i read it before making the cheesecake....trippin' person! this quote says it all... MR: There's a thing we kid about with one particular producer: we say, "What are we here for today?" "Well..." and we all address the producer and say, "We're here to make you rich." Then we look at the artist, "We're here to make you famous." And then we'll look at ourselves, "We're here to keep working." [laughs] So it's a laughing acknowledgment of the hierarchy for session players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
